Arrowroot & Honey Cookies

I decided today is the day for healthy snacking. But healthy doesn’t have to be tasteless, right? With the very healthy arrowroot powder and honey, we can make melt-in-the-mouth goodness in an instant (well, almost an instant 🙂 )

Ingredients

Arrowroot Powder : 1/4 Cup

Maida (All purpose flour) : 1/4 cup

Milk Powder : 1 table spoon

Honey : 2 tablespoon

Sugar : 1 tablespoon

Baking Powder : A pinch (Optional – Varies the crispiness)

Milk : 1 tablespoon

Butter : 1 tablespoon

Preparation
Step1 : Mix arrowroot powder, Maida , Milk powder and sugar very well. Add honey and mix again thoroughly.
Step2 : Add milk. Kneed and make a soft dough. It would be slightly sticky.
Step3 : Add half of the butter and kneed again.
Step4 : Add butter on your palm and take a small portion of dough. Make small ball and press using your hand. Using cookie cutter and make your desired shape.
Step5: Keep this on a tray (using butter paper) and bake for 15 – 20 minutes in 180degree Celsius.

I love cooking and trying out various recipes, and also to come up with ways to achieve good results in reasonable time and effort 🙂 All of the recipes I post here were tried out by me at least 2-3 times (if not a few dozen times) before I was happy with a simple method which gives me good results. Hope you enjoy making these dishes. Would be thrilled if you let me know in the comments how your experiment went.
If you have recipe requests for any Malabar dishes, please contact me and I’ll make every effort to get the recipe, try it out and post it here.
